Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Sharks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: DAL 30, SJS 37.

DAL in red SJS in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 30 shots on goal (5 goals, 10 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 37 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sharks took 56.9% of the shot attempts, and 49.0% of the 96 attempts taken at 5-on-5. An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
